Obstetric Claims in Finland 2012–2022—A Nationwide Patient Insurance Registry Study
( Acta Obstet Gynecol Scand . 2024;103(7):1377–1385. doi: 10.1111/aogs.14869) Maternity care and obstetrics carry high safety expectations, yet there is always a risk of complications and adverse events. Despite a decline in neonatal birth injuries in Finland over the past two decades, issues like delays in diagnosis and treatment have been linked to preventable serious outcomes, including maternal death. A study of 2865 births identified adverse events in 23% of cases, with 13% deemed preventable.
